School or Skills?

[inearth]

It is not foolish to acquire skills if you don't have the opportunity to get educational qualifications. It depends the one that's more realistic for you to to first. Not everyone has the opportunity of getting educated at the initial stage of their life, does it mean that they should waste their life waiting for education? The best approach is to get your skills and make your living from there. And when you have raised money for practicing your skills, you can proceed in getting education by registering in the part time studies. Everyone one good things in life, but it's unfortunate that people don't usually get all that they want at the initial stage, but gradually you will build towards that by starting with the best option that present itself.

It would be foolish if we were given the opportunity to get educational qualifications but turned it down because of the misconception that education and degrees are no longer important in today's era. A misconception is being spread by unemployed recent graduates.

On the contrary, if we are not lucky enough and do not have the conditions to get educational qualifications. Learning a skill is an extremely wise decision because there is no better way for people without education to still have opportunities in life. Skills are the best solution for them.

Without educational qualifications and degrees, you can never be successful, and you cannot be successful only with a degree. In the present era, degree certificates and practical skills are equally valuable. I think there should be no debate about education and skills, because in the present era and in the future, the need for both is equally important. That is why if someone has the opportunity to get education, if he ignores it, it will be his biggest mistake. Education is something that is never unnecessary, and not everyone gets the opportunity to receive it, because many are deprived of education due to their financial situation, so if someone has the opportunity to receive education, then he must take it, and along with receiving education, one must acquire practical skills, if you can achieve both subjects with equal importance, you will definitely be able to go to a much greater level in the future.

This is the main point, if the youth try to achieve both instead of choosing one, then it will be the best decision. In today's competitive world, it is never possible to achieve anything good by relying on only one. But the financial situation is also a factor, and everyone's situation is not the same. But if you have the opportunity, why don't you use it? Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should try to take your education to the highest level. You have to make the right decision according to the situation. If you have the opportunity, you should focus on improving your skills as well as obtaining a degree. If you have both qualities, the door to success is always open.

Pursuing both together is wrong because you must do it well whatever you do. If you do not choose a school, you must study well. For this, it is very wrong to focus on something else. On the other hand, when it comes to acquiring skills, it is seen that you cannot devote time to studying well. It is challenging to pursue both together, but even in this, many people who can work very hard do so. However, it would be best to choose one of them carefully. First, you should focus on educational qualifications and move towards acquiring skills. I think it is foolish to acquire skills without considering educational qualifications.

Yeah you are right. It must either school or getting a school. There is a saying that 'dont serve two masters' another saying is 'jack of all trade master of non'. The pin point in life is that whatever we are doing we should take it serious while eliminating any form of distraction. It is not possible to be close to perfection in your skill why maintaining excellent result in your academics. Unless that person is using money to get good grades if the skill has already start paying off. I know there are people who come out with good grades without reaching the four walls of an institution.

I hire people where i work amd when i do i dont look at what school or what grades i look at all the other things.  For me getting a degree shows me interest amd enough drive to finish or accomplish something.  Its all the other work related things i use as a basis of how they apply that.  And secomd did they move up, that shows a willingness to do whats needed by that employer to move up in rank.  So its not one or the other its a combo of both.  Dont focus on grades though its overrated.

If I own a company, and am suppose to employ someone into my company, then I will have to pick skills over education, because I know the person with the skills will be the one to offer me what I really want.

Skilled people just work and work, they can bring good performance in work but they are not creative, innovation. Meanwhile, people with education and certifications can easily learn new skills and also have the ability to be creative and innovative thanks to the knowledge they have acquired. That is why if you are an employee of a company, you will find that only those with degrees and experience hold important positions and enjoy special benefits from the company. Those who are skilled but not qualified will only be low-level employees, with little chance of promotion to key positions.

Tell me, is there any big company or corporation that hires CEO, director, assistant director based only on skills and not on degrees? If I were you, I would prioritize people who have both qualifications and skills. I would not focus only on skills because they can only ensure the job is done, but cannot provide creative solutions to help the business grow.

That is a definite thing and is needed by companies that need people with expertise in that field, and it is very helpful because they have experience in their work, I really agree about this because the company no longer needs to bother guiding them, that is the advantage that is obtained when to employ those who have expertise, unlike having an education they need to study it first before working in the company.

Some people are so interested in getting much qualification so that they can get better job or to get promoted quick in their place of work, but if you should look into the other aspect of it they are not good in the main skill. If we should consider only grade and qualification it is possible we make mistakes and go into wrong hands that won't bring good quality in the job giving to them.  Their are some dull people I'm school, it is not everyone who attends school is smart and their are some people who don't have the opportunity to be in school but sound, if considering only qualifications it is possible to accept someone who is dull and who is  a graduate over someone who knows the job better bit do not have any qualifications for the job.

Those who can combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience are able to learn from their mistakes and adopt new strategies. They know how to properly connect theoretical concepts with real situations and learn how to improve further. Being proficient in both theoretical knowledge and practice they are able to reach the best level in their field. These two elements work together and improve the quality of their performance which makes them effective creative and fluent in decision making. The right combination of these two elements is very important for improvement.

Skills are more important than knowledge because I saw many people who are jobless but they have degrees and they are not contributing in the economy of country. Country will be progressive when more people will earn and dollar will come in the country. But when there will be less people who are skillful person, country economy will be at the bottom, so every person should learn more skills in life . Basic things like computer running, driving and selling skill should be in the mind of new generation. There are thousands of people who know how to earn money and they are not an educated people and they are earning good.Knowledge is power when are applying it but most of the people are successful but they didn't go to school.

[Onyeeze]

School and skills complement each other. One is incomplete without the other, but if you say useless then you are wrong. Both skills and education have their own value, but one is less valuable without the other. That is, one is incomplete without the other. To become an expert in any subject, you first need knowledge and then you have to acquire skills. Sometimes skills are completed independently while a job depends only on skills. But such jobs are rarely available. We have to give equal importance to both education and skills.

Saying education is useless is wrong and maybe I don't agree with that view, but when it comes to skills without education people can also get them, but for certain skills we need education.
If education was not important, maybe scientists would not have discovered something meaningful now, so saying education is not important is a mistake.
Education and skills do complement each other and I agree because if one loses its place in someone, they will not be able to develop.

Some people think that without education people can also achieve financial success so that everyone is equal.
In fact, in some cases it happens because they also study even though they are not in formal education.

education can to be useless because education is the Foundation of everything that we are doing if you are a creative person, you will learn how to be creative through education so from my own understanding about creativity and education, is very clear that the education is the engine master of anything we are doing today and there's nothing we can do without education either we have a skill or not it is education that the past such information of skill to people so I agree with you that education is not useless and education can never be useless until the end of this world, except that people misunderstood education with another thing but for me I know quite well that education is very important and it is necessary for every person to have acquire a knowledge of education so that what whatever thing person need to be less easier for the person to achieve

schooling is a major requirement for every individual to function effectively in the society but in as much as school is a necessity learning a skill could easily improve one’s livelihood. While  graduate still awaits white collar job a skilled person will earn a living through his area of expertise.
Individual with skills make more contribution to the economy than jobless educated fellows. Its critics to school and also get a skill along side to be able to contribute to the economy of your county.  Never stay idol

These days, going to school is becoming a trend because it looks like everyone one want to be a graduate just for the name whey it looks like it's a competition when the government has no plans for anyone. This happens often in a corrupt regions where government will keep making pledges without fulfilling any one. When it comes to employment, we should keep looking people that has the skill it just certification everytime. There are many graduates that are never interested in improving themselves, and all they are waiting for is to get a job and claiming they are graduate and fit to get the successful since they have the requirements and certification.

I agree with this, those who have experience are usually not difficult to be taught by business owners so that work can be started quickly, but sometimes those who have good education often have good intelligence and are able to work better than those who have experience, so actually the most important assessment for an employee is their ethics because both those who are experienced or those who only rely on education will be able to work with a team and complete work well when they have good ethics (high EQ)

Universities have absolutely no credibility because they promote violence.

And this is the right approach, I know many people with average performance at school and university, but in fact they are excellent specialists who love what they do. Often teachers are to blame, because they are biased and they can have conflicts with students, and then this affects grades. Although is this considered objective justice? No. While other students can be given higher grades, for example girls, because they are very polite and pleasant to talk to. But when it comes to real work, their eyes are wide open and they become paralyzed. I mean their complete lack of practical skills.

When you hire someone with skills and experience, you don't have to spend time training them but you will have to pay them a high salary if you want them to work for you. They will never agree to work for you if you only pay them a salary that is not commensurate with their skills.

Meanwhile, people with degrees but no experience are willing to accept lower salaries to get a job and gain experience. It will take you time to train them from scratch but in return you will have a qualified and skilled employee in the long run. They will even become your right hand man and support you in your work.

Therefore, hiring skilled or educated people will depend on the company's capabilities, job location and salary...

This is a very important question that you asked here because employers of labour considering skill in the place of certificate is a clear indication that our educational system is faulty this is because you have students who graduated from the university with just the certificate but not with the required practical knowledge that is applicable to their areas of study, this is because in the society that we find ourselves people now considers certificate more than anything so for people to feel respected they just have to go to School and acquire the certificate not minding the process involved in getting the certificate this is the more reason why students do all manner of things including exam malpractice to pass exams

Degrees from universities are fucking worthless because universities promote violence and refuse to acknowledge that there is any problem. But you will probably side with the universities here because you are a fucked up piece of shit just like everyone else on this site.

Education does not guarantee someone to get skills because basically formal education only teaches about theory.
A person will get skills when trying to practice the knowledge of education to be implemented.
Formal education only teaches someone to learn the existing theory according to the curriculum and you will not get skills if you do not practice it.
Education is indeed quite important but a person must be able to develop themselves in an effort to gain those skills because without doing that education does not provide anything for people.

Many people who are not highly educated have skills in certain areas and it is obtained because they dare to practice directly.
In the concept of development, education is the foundation while skills are the content of the development itself because if there is no development then the has no value.

Formal education does not teach people a damn thing because universities promote violence and they fucking refuse to apologize for their horrendous actions. This means that the people who graduate from these institutions are both uneducated and stupid.

Being educated means you are trainable. A friend of mine who studies Biochemistry has been working in the bank for years now just because he's educated and hold a certificate. Although having one or two skills is good but without an education attached, you can hardly go far.

Yeah. About that. Universities promote violence which means that people who have degrees from universities are fucked up pieces of shit. And going to a university for a completely unrelated reason seems like an incredibly inefficient way of determining whether someone is trainable or not. The only reason people value degrees in biochemistry for non-biochemistry jobs is that they are deluded beyond repair. It is incredibly delusional and quite evil to think that a degree from a violence promoting university means anything at all for a job unrelated to that degree.
